Kim Burgess quotes from Chicago P.D.

Burgess

[to Voight] I just wanted to I just wanted to reiterate my desire and my commitment to one day be detailed up to Intelligence. I know that it was offered once before, but I felt that I still had something to learn in patrol. And I'm glad that I stayed. But if the opportunity ever presented itself again, I just want you to know that it would be the best decision that you ever made to have me be a part of your unit.

Halstead

Flight attendant.

Burgess

Uh, yeah, three years, waiting until I got into the police academy.

Halstead

[looks at Burgess disbelievingly] Flight attendant? [Lindsay snickers into her glass]

Burgess

You can break my balls all you want, but I learned more about crowd control and conflict resolution and intimidation tactics traits that will serve me well when you guys detail me up into Intelligence. Hint, hint.

[grin to each other] Oh. Wow.

Halstead

Okay. Noted.

Burgess

Thanks. How about you?

Lindsay

Oh, I just kicked around. Nothing glamorous.

Burgess

You?

Halstead

I was in the military.

Burgess

You see any action?

Halstead

I did. Yeah.

Burgess

Ever see anything like you did today? [Lindsay looks warily at Halstead] I'm sorry. I forget I asked that. That was a stupid question.

Atwater

What did you do to Platt?

Burgess

I didn't do nothing to Platt.

Atwater

What did you do to Platt? You must have done something. Burgess, I'm gonna tell you this right now. Don't walk down a road you can't come back from.

Burgess

Okay, fine. I called her a house mouse.

Atwater

You didn't.

Burgess

She ran me all over creation for this gaudy ring of her cousin's, and then she–– I'm sorry. Sometimes my temper can hinder my ability to communicate.

Platt

Hey, Turner and Hooch, get over here.

Atwater

I better be Turner.

Burgess

What is it?

Platt

Need a photo.

Atwater

Because we found a body. If this is for the Tribune, my mama might want a couple––

Platt

For your new I.D. badge, Einstein.

Atwater

So what's the scoop, Sarge?

Burgess

Yeah, what's the scoop?

Atwater

If Voight got arrested, what were the charges?

Burgess

Yeah, they're not gonna take the unit from him, will they? He actually likes us.

Platt

You're like two washerwomen from the old country. Why don't you take your laundry down to the river?

Ruzek

[grabs Burgess' arm] Hey, listen. Come with me. [to Platt] We need her today.

Atwater

What about me?

Ruzek

Don't really have the curves I'm looking for, Atwater. Sorry man.

Nadia

Your daddy ever touch you when you were a kid?

Burgess

What?

Nadia

Turn the light off in your eyes.

Roman

You hear about Jeff Gamble today?

I did. He went out in a blaze of glory, huh?

Burgess

Ah, yeah. Shooting at cops it's...real glorious.

Is it true you got to buy your own duty weapon, or you just got to buy the backup?

Burgess

Oh, Chicago police officers are required to pay for their own sidearm, both primary and backup.

Hmm.

Burgess

What you carry?

I like a Walther PPK.

Burgess

You sound like future police to me.

Platt

Or a hit man.

Burgess

Hey. Um, Sergeant. I heard Intelligence pulled a rip on some major dealers last night.

Platt

Let me guess who leaked this amazing story, your boy toy, Ruzek? [Roman laughs]

Burgess

Boy what? No. Just, if any–– if any back ups needed we're volunteering our services.

Platt

didn't get upstairs, Burgess, so give it up. But, I do love your can-do spirit, so I am assigning you two to "psycho squad" duty. The Bulgarian consulate in Chicago forwarded a list of whackos who've made threats against President Pla-no..Pla..Pre...President...Pla...President whoever, who arrives in two days for some trade conference. You're gonna do spot checks on all persons on that list, see if they pose a danger.

Roman

Yeah. Can't you put Garcia or Sikora on this one?

Platt

Roman, be grateful I don't park you at a desk doing traffic reports.

Platt

One last name came in from the consulate, sounds like a real winner. Some guy upset at Bulgaria 'cause they're trying to join the EU.

Burgess

Maybe after this we can get back to real police work?

Platt

Hey, how's that K-9 girl working out for ya?

Roman

If I have to do another day with her, I'm gonna transfer. To Milwaukee.

Platt

Oh, don't kid yourself, Roman. You're so in love with that girl it ain't even funny.

Burgess

The ad says Woolworth's. I think they went out of business.

Platt

Burgess, dreams never go out of business. Ever.

Burgess

Hey, did you know that Adam was engaged, before he was engaged?

Roman

To you? Yeah.

Burgess

No. Before that.

Roman

You mean you're the third?

Burgess

Yeah. Just found out.

Roman

Just think of it like the Olympics. A bronze medal's nothing to sneeze at.

Platt

[to some patrol officers] When it comes to diamonds, there are the four Cs: carat, cut, clarity, and...and character.

Burgess

[walks over to Platt's desk] No, it's color. It's color.

Platt

Must be a regional thing. [holds out her ring finger] God, that bling is so shiny. I get distracted all the time. Hey, Burgess, I'm going to need my wedding book back now that you and runaway groom have kicked your date into the next century.

Burgess

My pleasure.

Platt

Hey, wait a minute. I got an idea. Help me plan my wedding. Get a little contact high while you wait in line.

Burgess

That's very tempting.

Burgess

I mean, nothing has happened at all at all, but last night there was this moment.. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Lindsay

Yeah, I do.

Burgess

But having been engaged to Ruzek, what you are saying is that I should not be opening the door, right?

Lindsay

You want me to be the one to tell you that you should not date your partner? [raises eyebrows] I––

Burgess

Ohhhh! Yeah, no. You know why I forget? I forget sometimes that you and Jay are dating, 'cause you guys make it look so easy.

Lindsay

[surprised] Really??

Voight

I heard your partner...what's his name, Sorensen?

Burgess

Yeah.

Voight

That he turned his badge in.

Burgess

[bitterly] Yeah. He's not here to give his version, so I'm gonna hold off on mine.
